I’ve just about had it with this mopey smarm where zionist dinosaurs in congress act like a working class Afro Latina endorsed by a Muslim Mayor winning an election is somehow racially insensitive. What is the argument anymore? It’s just shallow authenticity-mongering & self pity
Why are people talking about winning elections like it’s a form of cheating?? This class of politician has long had a tacit alliance with capital, real estate and Israel lobby to not rock the boat too much in exchange for a combination of patronage and liberal social welfare.
I get it but clearly this wasn’t working for a huge percentage of voters. Chevalier won black precincts by 10 percentage points and only lost Hispanics by 4 points. Reading this you’d think her mean voter was a pasty IPA drinking graphic designer.
Whoever says this 3 times after Fajr will enter Jannah
رَضِيتُ بِاللّٰهِ رَبًّا، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ نَبِيًّا
Transliteration:
Radītu billāhi rabban, wa bil-Islāmi dīnan, wa bi-Muḥammadin ﷺ nabiyyan.
Meaning:
“I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad ﷺ as my Prophet.

Why do some veterans struggle with separation, identity, and living in the past? Because service can become fused to self. When that happens, leaving the role feels like losing the person.

My approach was different. I treated service as a series of chapters, not a permanent identity. Each phase mattered, but none of them got to define me forever.

🧵 Supplement #3 in Long COVID: N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)
Cheap, FDA-approved, widely available. And it may do something the other supplements don't: directly degrade the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.
Evidence and mechanism below. 🔽

NAC is a precursor to glutathione, the master antioxidant.
In long COVID, oxidative stress is elevated, glutathione is depleted, and endothelial cells are generating excessive reactive oxygen species. NAC replenishes glutathione directly.

NAC and the spike protein — a hypothesis worth watching:
NAC's free thiol group can theoretically break disulfide bonds in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein's receptor-binding domain. Whether this occurs meaningfully in vivo, at supplemental doses, against persistently expressed spike, is not yet established.
A 2025 meta-analysis found NAC binds to the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro catalytic site via computational docking: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40418545/
This is computational and in vitro data only. The hypothesis is biologically plausible and worth investigating. Direct human evidence for NAC clearing spike protein does not exist.

What an election! What a campaign!
By just 5 votes, a 0.1% margin, Harrison has gotten his majority and held on.
I personally didn’t believe the results when I first saw them. Point one percent? I thought for sure it was a meme.

I personally didn’t believe the results when I first saw them. Point one percent? I thought for sure it was a meme.
One begins to wonder if victory at any cost, by five votes, nonetheless, was worth it.
And that 0.1% margin was hard to come by. It was so obvious that Harrison’s guys were running scared, moving heaven and earth to eke out even the most pathetic of victories.

Almost overnight the endorsements rolled in. Ball told his voters to fall behind Harrison. Almost every major LCMS social media figure endorsed Harrison, and almost all at once.
Even Ball’s core backers fell in line for Harrison before Ball did.

THREAD: Tonight at the White House, Trump’s hosting a dinner to show off all his policy 'wins' for farmers. Too bad for him that real farmers know bullshit when they see it.
It may look like just another pathetic attempt at spin, but it shows the fear and panic: Trump’s losing his base and losing control of the party. He knows he needs to get rural voters back on his side.
He’s already on track to lose the House, the Senate could follow if rural voters decide they've had enough of the show.
The Israel Lobby took a beating in the NY & MD Democratic primaries, with 12 pro-Israel incumbents losing to progressives who campaigned against blank-check support for Israel.🧵
The Israel lobby & its allies immediately launched a scare campaign to delegitimize the results as “racism, antisemitism, communism & terrorism are plaguing America”.
Exhibit A: Pro-Palestine positions smeared as Nazism, Islamism, and Communism.
Exhibit B: Prominent voices like former Ambassador David Friedman labeling Jewish winner Brad Lander an opportunistic “self-hating” betrayer of the Jewish people for winning on a platform of no-blank checks to Israel.
Exhibit C: NYPost pushing the line that young white voters are “gentrifying” the minority vote.
Exhibit D: Claims that pushing back on Israel-first politicians equals “White Racism Against Blacks.”
Exhibit E: Claiming Pro-Palestine & Anti-Israel is a 3rd world invasion
This is the foreign interference playbook in action. A powerful lobby advancing the interests of Israel floods U.S. primaries with money and influence. When American voters push back and elect people who prioritize different priorities, the response isn’t policy debate, it’s to attack the integrity of the election, paint winners and voters as extremists or bigots, and weaponize identity to scare everyone back in line.
Voters spoke. Respect the results instead of trying to undermine them with fear and division.

ATTENTION: BEFORE YOU SHARE THE CLAIM THAT "ROMANIA IS ADVANCING A BILL TO UNIFY WITH MOLDOVA," READ THIS. Right now, this story is being used by the Kremlin to push the narrative that Romania wants to "annex" Moldova. Don't amplify the narrative without the full context. ⬇️🧵
1/The proposal was introduced by S.O.S. România, led by Diana Șoșoacă, a Romanian politician who has publicly described herself as "pro-Putin" and said she "loves Russia." This is not a Romanian government initiative. The government opposed the bill and issued a negative opinion
2/The bill was not approved by Parliament through a vote. It advanced through Romania's tacit adoption procedure, meaning deputies did not debate or vote on it before the constitutional deadline expired. It now goes to the Senate, which has the final decision.
United States v. Saab
(Maduro's liaison to Iran)
When arguing against the Terrorism Enhancement being applied at your sentencing, it's probably best practice that you DO NOT include any letters from a member of Hizballah, even if he is your brother.
Alex Saab will be resentenced on July 10, 2026.

Saab was facing about 20 years in prison, but in 2023 the Biden Admin swapped him back to Venezuela in exchange for 10 American hostages plus "Fat Leonard," a corrupt defense contractor at the center of a Pentagon bribery scandal.

“My Lord, indeed I am in need of whatever good You send down to me.” (Quran 28:24)
A du’a of Musa (AS), made in a moment of need, and Allah opened doors for him from places he never expected.

Stanford researchers proved you are not being rejected by 10 companies. You are being rejected by one algorithm 10 times.
Your score is stored for 330 days. Every company that uses the same vendor sees the same number. They call it the algorithmic blackball.
Researchers at Stanford HAI, Chapman University, and Northeastern University published the largest audit of AI hiring algorithms ever conducted.
The paper is called "Algorithmic Monocultures in Hiring." Published at FAccT 2026, May 26. The data came from Pymetrics, the AI hiring platform used by major Fortune 100 companies.
Here is what they found.
When you apply for a job at a company that uses Pymetrics, you play a series of assessment games. Your scores are stored. For up to 330 days. If another company also uses Pymetrics, your application is evaluated using the same stored scores. You are not getting two separate evaluations. You are getting the same score twice.
If the algorithm rejects you once, it rejects you everywhere.
The researchers call this the "algorithmic blackball." One bad score locks you out of every company that shares the same vendor. You never find out why. You never get a second chance. You just stop hearing back.
They ran a large-scale simulation using real applicant data. The result: over 40,000 job advances were lost because applicants who would have succeeded at one company were screened out by an algorithm calibrated for a different one.
Then they measured who gets hit hardest.
25.87% of Black applicants were routed into algorithmically discriminatory hiring processes. 14.74% of Asian applicants. These are not hypothetical projections. These are rates measured in deployed, real-world hiring systems used by some of the largest employers on earth.
The same algorithm. Applied across companies. Producing the same racial disparities at every one of them.
This is already in the courts. Mobley v. Workday is a federal class-action lawsuit alleging that AI hiring tools systematically discriminate against older, Black, and disabled applicants. The case is ongoing.
In Europe, the EU AI Act classifies hiring algorithms as high-risk AI systems by default. Compliance requirements take effect August 2, 2026. Weeks away.
In the United States, there is no equivalent federal law.
The researchers make four recommendations. Measure adverse impact at the position level. Strengthen cross-employer surveillance. Monitor risks from algorithmic concentration. Create legal pathways for independent researchers to access hiring data.
The last one carries an implicit warning. This study was only possible because Pymetrics voluntarily shared its data. Most vendors would prefer their algorithms remain opaque.
The next time you apply for a job and never hear back, the rejection may not have come from a human. It may have come from a score you received 330 days ago, at a company you have already forgotten, for a role that had nothing to do with the one you just applied to.

1/ Imagine you take a test at one company. You fail. That is fine. You move on and apply to the next company.
Except you do not take a new test. The next company uses the same test vendor. They pull your old score. You fail again, with the same score, for a completely different job.
You apply to a third company. Same vendor. Same score. Same rejection.
You were not rejected three times. You were rejected once. It just followed you.

2/ Now add race.
The researchers looked at 3.37 million applicants and 4.19 million applications, all screened by the same vendor.
25.87% of applications submitted by Black applicants went to positions where the algorithm discriminated against Black applicants.
14.74% for Asian applicants.
Not because anyone at the company chose to discriminate, but because the algorithm did. The same algorithm at every company that uses it.
